Meet some of our expert BMW mechanics

Richard is a very knowledgable and reliable mechanic. His knowledge of BMW cars is unmatched. I plan to request his services to replace my starter which he properly diagnosed as faulty after my car failed to start.

Maxwell was extremely knowledgeable about everything and knew how to explain everything very clearly. I will definitely be booking him in the future for any work I need done on my car. Arrived on time and took his time making sure everything he was doing was done properly, something I'm sure most everyone on YourMechanic would appreciate. Perfect service thank you.

Chi finally got my car up and running, and I'm super happy. I'd wait a week, to work with Chi vs another mechanic. He's that good.
Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely wants to help and get you back on the road. 6 stars.

All about Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement

The camshaft position sensor monitors the position of the camshaft and reports that data to the car’s onboard computer system. This computer system works with sensors and other devices to keep the engine running. With data from the camshaft position sensor (CPS), the fuel injectors know when to fire.
When the sensor malfunctions, the computer does not know when to fire the injectors and may not fire them at all. The faulty readouts may also throw off spark timing, which will affect the car’s fuel economy. This sensor is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to control ignition timing. It is common for heat and oil leaks to cause this sensor to fail, due to where the sensor is located.

The camshaft position sensor provides valuable information about the camshaft position to the computer management system. The computer system uses the information from the position sensor to determine when to inject more fuel. Without the sensor’s information, the computer won’t inject fuel properly, and your vehicle will stall or sputter.
